Vote on the "Question of the Day" for Thursday, February 19th?

I'm choosing #1 because it is a great question. It allows room for opinion, but it also allows room for facts. It seems like there is a good discussion that could go on there.

The rest of them are a little bit cut and dry. They just require some expertise in a certain area. #1 is an issue that affects everyone in this country, and it is an important issue.To me, the opportunity for interesting discussion makes for the best question.

However, the best discussions are ones where there is an opportunity for facts to be brought in. That feels a lot more substantial to me.

Number 1, as there's the opportunity to inform and educate people about a topic that may not be aware of.

My shortlist would be #2 and #4, for similar reasons. They are both questions of great importance to the person asking, yet something we can all relate to. Even if we haven't eloped, or have kids of our own, we can understand and care about the situation.

#empathyday Jason. :) They also elicited some fine answers. This time I'll pick #2 as the QOTD.

Why? A) It's a great story b) @bbrookin's answer is a wonderful and helpful story too c) They just got married! Give them a M$10 wedding gift from all of us!

Number 3. A great idea, yes. But also a great idea that could generate a lot of positive attention.

I like #1. It requires some knowledge, research and background. It also might not be something others are aware of, and is likely to stimulate good discussion.

Tough choice, but I'm going to vote for question 3. It's great because not only does it inspire a great Mahalo feature suggestion, but I also love its philanthropic tone.

3 It would be a great feature to implement for those who are feeling especially charitable.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
